The Nazis were so smitten by the concept of a spiritual utopia that they sent several teams in search of the legendary place. However, Buddhists are not the only ones obsessed with the idea of Shambala. Shambala, being located inside the Earth, is also supported by the Hollow Earth Theory, which propounds that our planet is largely hollow, containing significant interior space that might contain vegetation and life forms.
Those who succeed choose to remain there, cut off from the rest of the world. People who search for Shambala are said to either end up discovering the place or perishing in the process. According to Tibetan beliefs, Shambala is guarded by unique beings with immense supernatural powers.
Traditional Buddhists believe the place to exist somewhere in the Himalayan/Tibetan region.
